Step by step guide
The top consists of 4 pieces: two identical front and back pieces, and two identical sleeves.
Front and Back Pieces
- Foundation Chain:
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 6 for the blocked sections.
- Pull a long loop for the distressed chains.
- Repeat until you have 6 groups of 6 chains, alternating with long loops.
- First Row:
- Chain 1, skip 2 chains, double crochet in the 3rd chain.
- Complete with 5 more double crochets in the next 5 chains (6 total).
- Pull a long loop to create the distressed section.
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the first chain of the next 6-chain section, and complete a double crochet.
- Repeat until the row ends with blocks of 6 double crochets and pulled loops for distressed sections.
- Subsequent Rows:
- Chain 2, turn your work.
- Skip the first stitch, double crochet in the next 5 stitches.
- Anchor the last double crochet by inserting the hook under both loops at the top and a loop from the lower V-stitch.
- Create a long loop, yarn over, and double crochet into the top of the first stitch in the next section.
- Repeat for 27 rows.
Sleeves
- Foundation Chain:
- Same as the front/back but only with 4 groups of chain 6, alternating with long loops.
- Rows:
- Follow the same pattern as front/back pieces.
- Total of 44 rows for the sleeves.
Assembly
- Neckline:
- Use stitch markers to set the neckline size.
- Single crochet the front and back pieces together at the shoulders.
- Attach Sleeves:
- Align the middle of the sleeve with the shoulder seam.
- Sew the top of the sleeve to the side of the body using single crochet.
- Side Seams:
- Fold the top, matching sides.
- Stitch up the side and along the sleeve using single crochet.
- Use a yarn needle for a cleaner edge.
Finishing
- Weave in all loose ends.
- Ensure all stitches are even by adjusting the long loop parts as necessary.
This pattern creates a top with a trendy distressed look, thanks to the long chain sections. The adjustable elements make it easy to customize to your preference.
